No, the person didn't. Oyo city is big and encompasses 3 Local government areas. Those figures are actually old sef coz the city has nothing less than a million inhabitants today. Even on the Wikipedia list it is bigger than Uyo.

Lagos is a state, the other places u mentioned are cities (and mostly capital of a state) my question is this, why are u comparing the population of an entire state to cities and capitals in states? Why don't u do state to state comparison like Lagos state/ogun state or ikeja abiokuta ? Well op may receive sense

Yes. Oyo city exists within Oyo state and encompasses 3 local government areas. It is the Alaafin's domain and not too far from Ogbomosho, which is another major city within Oyo state.
